1. That's true, you could see it that way and in the end - we're going to have to agree to disagree.
2. As I said, I'm not hating on the guy - I'm questioning the university. Then again, we're probably going to end up agreeing to disagree - and I can take home the solace that if he truly is as acdemically unfit as he seems to be with his 65-75 ATAR, he won't survive and will probably be kicked out of the degree stream anyway.
You kind of were hating on him- I mean, you did insult him (and other Lebs) with those stereotypical, disparaging comments. There was absolutely no need for that.
Dude, that could happen to anyone. People with an ATAR of 99+ are by no means immune to being deemed 'academically unfit' with regards to whatever degree they have chosen to study. The almighty ATAR is not a precise measurement of intelligence and capability.
3. I was saying that if you're going to take the "You hate everyone at UWS and everything at UWS", you can't - because my school friends go there.
No, that isn't where I was going with my posts.
4. Still doesn't explain why the other guy who voiced the same views wasn't flamed to oblivion in the other thread. I still maintain several people on this forum filter my posts through some sort of hate filter.
Perhaps he offered a slightly more accepted/ valid reason for his beliefs? I don't know what else to say to that since I don't remember reading that particular post. I also don't have time to look for it.
Again:
i can't speak for anyone else, but i don't hate you nor do i have this 'hate filter' you speak of. you just so happened to touch on a subject i feel rather strongly about.
just thought i'd make that clear.
Education is education, sure. I'll agree with that. Yes, I'll agree that it's great that that guy who got 75 ATAR got into his dream course and yada yada yada. But I just think that UWS is really shooting itself in the foot if they're being so lax to their admission procedures - especially in degrees like Law where prestige is apparently a big factor.
What do you know about the quality of the Law degree/s offered at UWS? Or are you just assuming it's shit because of the university?
I just think that if UWS was a bit more stringent in its admissions, we'd stop mocking it so much. Right now, UWS has this stereotype which isn't helping its reputation among students... there was a reason why last year, there were threads and posts about why we should work hard in the HSC or else we'd get into UWS.
Hmm, yes, a stereotype which is being fueled by people like you. Thanks for that.
m8, i'm regurgitating the info i got and if its wrong - then blame the source and not me
No no no no no no no, that's not how it works. You will be held accountable for what you say. It's your own fault for not putting in the effort to research this a little more to gain a better understanding. It's quite clear to see that you have chosen to remain ignorant.
Also, the situation involved a person who got like 65 to 75 ATAR who went to TAFE and got some law-related qualification and then got into UWS. So don't give me that "lol u so stupid shadow, 65 + 15 bonus points = 80 < 91!!!!!" because that's not my point. Please re-read my post before you start going off on tangents and pushing my post through the hate filter you have there.
Please provide the link to this person's 'fully sik' Facebook post. I would very much like to see it.

Oh, but of course there's absolutely no chance that these stories may have been slightly exaggerated for entertainment purposes. Nope. Not at all.
People complaining about petty things proves nothing.
Also, since when has Facebook been a reliable source for anything?
who said theyre superficial?
Ugh.
